Allegations of Misconduct Condoned and Supported by the Medical ====== ALLEGATIONS OF MISCONDUCT CONDONED AND SUPPORTED BY THE MEDICAL = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = RESEARCH COUNCIL OF CANADA: A CONSPIRACY. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Drs. Friesen and Slotin are the principles cited in a failure to support and enforce the Medical Research Council of Canada’s own guidelines and regulations. To Demonstrate: The University of Waterloo gave False Assurances and violated the Guidelines, Objectives and Spirit of the Medical Research Council of Canada to Promote J.C.M.Riley and Private Interests. From: E. A. Greenhalgh 265—Apt 7 Regina St.N., Waterloo, Ontario. N2J 3B9 Tel.(519)—884—3318 02 July 1996 Dr.H. Friesen Mr. P. Gerhard President of the Senior Investigator Medical Research Ombudsman Ontario. Council of Canada Dr. A.Carty Mr.Max Eldan President of the President of the National Research Canadian Human Rights Council of Canada Commission. 1. President Friesen, Dr.Francis Rollesten, and the Council Memebers are being placed on notice that allegations of misconduct, dereliction of duty and responsibility are being made because, had your own regulations and guidelines been properly enforced then the misconduct could not have occurred. President Friesen has been involved from the beginning due his long tenure (perhaps reproductive background?). Dr.Rollesten is alleged to have made a false promise to investigate in 1996. Serious allegations of cover up date to Dr. Slotin circa 1988. Please be fully aware that if a satisfactory answer is not found that serious allegations involving members of the Health and Human Services (Mr.J.Dockery and Dr.L.W.Bivens) all interrelated to J.C.M.Riley will be made in the U.S. Based on your own MRC II forms (supplied by Dr.Rollesten in 1996), and the 1988—89 Grants and Awards Guide, serious allegations of deliberate misconduct will be made against the Administration of the University of Waterloo and J.C.M.Riley. Make no mistake, as Dr.Rollesten has appeared to mislead, the allegations are against the Administration of the University of Waterloo: Dr.J.C.Carson could not have acted without their consent nor direction (your very own Guidelines so dictate!). Your job (President and Council Members) is to be RESPONSIBLE: to respect the public’s safety and handle tax dollars responsibly, and NOT to give monies out to promote a friend’s or politician’s child — which is exactly what I allege you did! Any time NRC irresponsibly ignores its own guidelines, then NRC is endangering the public: creating a new thalidomide or DES (harm for generations). Any time MRC uses tax monies for incompetent researchers it is responsible for promoting harm to society. Allegations, like those ruled upon in the Bitove investigation, of political intervention are being made. The allegations are that people influential to the Progressive Conservative party (for example both Pres. Douglas Wright, a former PC cabinet minister and associate of P.M. Brian Mulroney, and Senator Trevor Eyton whom the PM made a Senator had direct connections to the government directly overlooking NRC: among many people associated with UW) could easily influence MRC to promote special interests of their university: the University of Waterloo. Please be aware that the then Science Minister, Bill Winegard was a former Pres. of Guelph University, which had a joint Center of Excellence alliance with the University of Waterloo. As with the Bitove ruling, the allegation has a real foundation. Politicians are being cited by Justice Krever for the HIV blood scandal that harmed the public. Politicians over ruled Pierre Blais to allow silicon implants to harm the public. I am alleging that NRC Guidelines were violated to promote J.C.M.Riley. Please answer the following: 2. Did oxidation damage occur in the J.C.M.Riley Ph.D. membrane preparation? Yes or No? If oxidation damage occurred, then I allege that the Administration of the University of Waterloo deliberately engaged in misconduct and Charter violations to receive funding from MRC (and NIH). Are you now prepared to respect your own guidelines and perform a proper and thorough investigation, or will NRC continue to engage in a cover up? I must comment on the tremendous lack of effort exhibited by MRC to this date. Please read your own Objectives 1— 8. Before proceeding, certain simple definitions must be made. (1) The Scientific Method requires work to be repeatable. Theories are put forward and tested! Any work which can be repeated under controlled conditions represents a proof -- not an opinion. To SUPPRESS any work that can be repeated under controlled conditions does NOT represent the scientific method. SUPPRESSION IS A FORM OF MISCONDUCT! Suppression for misrepresentation so to gain federal monies represents a fraudulent action. (2) Ethic p1. Ethics. The Science of Morals 1602. 3a. The moral system of a particular writer or school of thought 1651. The rules of conduct recognized in certain limited departments of human life 1789. 4. The science of human duty in its widest extent, including, besides ethics proper, the science of law whether civil, political, or international l69O. (3) Misconduct 1. Bad management; mismanagement. Often quasi- spec., malfeasance. 2. Improper conduct. NRC II forms provided by Dr.Francis Rollesten (1996) will be cross-referenced to the 1988/89 Grants and Awards Guide, provided by Dr.L.Slotin (circa 1988). ANY discrepancies between old and new forms will place the onus on NRC since the appropriate forms were requested. The allegations concern the conscious intent by the University of Waterloo to commit misconduct, unethical activity (including Charter violations) and cover up, so ANY excuses involving new vs. old forms or guidelines will simply be unacceptable. 3. Highlights from: Application for an Operating Grant MRC/CRM (1995) Sections are alphabetized for reference. Underlining or capital- ization added for emphasis.

  • Dear Prime Minister, Stephen Harper
    1 BODY OF FORMAL LETTER JULY 2010 Dear Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, The only point of writing the Prime Minister of Canada ( with copies to the Leaders of the Opposition parties) is to demonstrate serious issues of concern to the general public, and the fact that violations of federal law and regulations, not the least of these being violations of federal mandates regarding scientific research and health standards (implications to listeria/salmonella outbreaks (incompetent researchers)/ swine flu vaccines and deadly emerging diseases) and perhaps most importantly concerning the Constitution the deliberate and malicious violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. To any honest politician hoping to build a better Canada that alone should be enough, but the public must be involved to measure just how elected officials respond to such important issues especially when the issues criminal conspiracy and the obstruction of justice, and betrayal of the public trust can also be demonstrated. The matter of fake scholarships for incompetent Elite children so they may take positions and jobs from qualified but unconnected (politically and financially) middle and working class children: misuse of taxpayers' monies for Elite socialism .That is the overall importance to the public and basis of sending you all this material. The matter of the public inquiry of the former P.M Brian Mulroney, and Karl Heinz‐Schreiber letters and your choice of the University of Waterloo President David Johnston to set out the MANDATE for the inquiry is the basis and relevance of my letter to you. A MANDATE decides what any inquiry may or MAY NOT investigate, and if the person setting that mandate is not independent, but has a predisposition, bias ,or prejudice to misdirect the inquiry, which is not revealed (indeed expressed to be the complete opposite) then justice will not be served even if a false impression is made that it has.
